Standing as a remarkable tribute to President Kennedy, the library and museum complex illuminates his past as well as the history of politics in America, the office of president, and the legacy of JFK. Seven permanent exhibits and a number of temporary exhibitions fill out this beautiful modern building on topics including JFK's Campaign Trail, the Space Race, First Lady Jackie Kennedy, and also his family among others.
